Kwame Duodo, 15, and O’She Doyles-Whyte, 16, were shot and killed Friday afternoon outside of 287 Grandravine Drive near Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue.

Doyles-White died on the steps of the complex, while Duodo was transferred to hospital where he later died.

Sara Goldvine, a spokesperson for the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), said in an interview there are 69 cameras in the complex and some of them were not working on Friday. The inoperable cameras, she said, were mainly a result of vandalism.
